THEDARKDREAMER'S PROFILE

Illustrator with a weird obsession with RPG style games, specifically SNES style RPGS or PlayStation style RPG's. If it wasn't for DND, there wouldn't be any of them!!! A lot of my games and the like, are Final Fantasy inspired, though I do draw experience from playing other games, and just life in general. I go by thedarkdreamer and ZENWARE. Though my main profession is in illustration, I have gotten very high GPA both in high school and art college. I was going for the style and works of higher children's books or comic books, though I haven't made a lot of progress with that because of...
life. There I said it.
I have also published two books, The Dogs of Narberth, and The Rescue Pups, and a third book is coming out soon. I do write.
I have only "officially" made two games but they weren't great. I have been working on Twisted Fate for a long time though. I don't know why I'm stuck on this. I guess because 'that' was 'really' my ACTUAL first "game". But life.
Life.

I have a couple completed games but they are edits. For people who are interested, I have A LOT of things I want to do but the problem I'm running into is TIME and really, deadlines and real world projects, and other things I am working on, for those who are actually interested:

ADVENTURES IN THE DREAM WORLD
ANIMAMON / MYTHOSMON / TALES OF ERDE "SCARYMON"
BEYOND NIGHTMARE OF THE ELVEN WORLD
CALL OF THE ARCHON 2 - MORGANNA'S CURSE
CALL OF THE WARRIORS

HEROES CRUSADE - LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SAGES
HEROES OF RUDERRA
HEROES' JOURNEY
LEGENDS OF DARKNESS
LEGENDS OF INFINITE
MONSTER ENIGMA "ASHTORETH'S BLIGHT"
MONSTER ENIGMA R
RISE OF DARKNESS

THE CHRONICLES OF INFINITE

WORLD WARPERS - ENTER THE VOID

On VX, MV UP:
LEGENDS OF INFINITE
ORIGINS OF INFINITE
RISE OF DARKNESS
WORLD WARPERS

I must be partially crazy!! So many projects. (A lot of repetition as well)...
In terms of...the projects, I still float between old games that other people did, and now looking back on things I previously did. I'm doing a bunch at once, though I feel like I do one for a bit then go to another one, then that same kinda thing happens. Though now, I'm trying to do FINAL FATE (which is an old one), The Adventures of Dyluck (aka me hahah), and an obscure one based off a game I was doing called IN DREAMS I "CRESCENDO", based off "THE DARK DREAMERS". I basically set myself up for one, then I get tired or distracted and head onto another one. I hate this really.

[RM2K3] [RM2K] More Technical Skills "Failure" Messages during battles

So, I dunno if anyone even uses RPG Maker 2000 anymore. Whatever. I still have questions for 2000's...use. I guess?

This is sort of a technical question and from a background in writing, but RPG Maker 2k has only 3 slots for Special Skill failure messages:



Is there a patch or something that I can get more of those types of messages? What I'm getting at is this, better messages for status inflicting magic and whatnot. I guess examples could be:

Dyluck casts Envenom! Green Slime resists the magical spell!
Dyluck casts Sleep! Green Slime has been put to sleep.
Dyluck casts Cure! Dyluck's HP's are maxed out!
Dyluck casts Vivify! Genna remains unaffected.
Killer Bee releases the Poisonous Pollen! Dyluck shakes off the dust!

-_____________________________________________________________________________-

RPG Maker only lets you use a couple of messages. In terms of writing that's kinda like a writer's block and a total lack of development. I don't really know how DynPlugins work (the coding part), but DynPlugins are more for RM2k3 and not RPG Maker 2000. Remember, I have bought the VALUE version, the more updated version. Any pointers? I feel like half my questions are either A) not possible, B) nobody actually cares, C) you're outdated.

Even Dragon Quest and Earthbound have had multiple different messages for IN battle. Even for death states, there's multiple messages for death states, at least in Earthbound.

I feel so old! I'm only 34! (It was recently my birthday)

[RM2K3] Looking for Battler Sprites for "NPC's" and Missing Monster Sprites

This actually isn't really a request, and more of a question about RM2k3's RTP, actually.

Rm2k3 has been out for a while, but something has bugged me for a while about Rm2k3.
So there's the hero face sets, the hero character sets, and then the hero battler sets. How come there isn't any other battlers/battler sprites for the Face1, Face2, and Monster sets? Later on in RPG Maker XP-MV, some people had released some battlers that had matched up their face sets for RPG Maker XP-MV use. Though why hasn't there been any other corresponding sprites for the Face1, Face2, and Monster sets? It also looked, like Enterbrain, when they had 'owned' RPG Maker 2003, had made some monster sets to match up some of the RPG Maker 2003 face sets. Games in the past on Rm2k had sometimes used the Face1, Face2, and Monster face sets, or kind of like when someone out there made a graphic for Legion Saga R of Mr. Yuto that made people excited. Come to think of it, there wasn't even a sprite of the Giant Demon Lord from RM2k into Rm2k3 or the Purple Demon for monster sprites. 0_0 Why is this though? This makes not much sense, really.

I was also kind of looking around on the internet for "lost" RPG Maker 2003 monster graphic sprites. This pic is a bit blurry, it's from Charas-Project, but hello!!! Where did the creator of that game/picture get these ones?



I also had gotten sprites from a forum page on Charas-Project which had included an Iron Giant. Though from using Google Translate on (this) image, nothing of grand importance was really there. :/



It is rather interesting. Again, kind of makes no sense where those graphics came from, and I wish there was more for RPG Maker 2003. Though I also happened to find this japanese site that has some pretty decent resources for RPG Maker games, like who made these?!? Woo!!! IT'S SUPER COOPER SUN-jk lol

https://w.atwiki.jp/viprpg_sozai/

It kind of makes me feel like something is amiss here. Has anyone else wondered about this besides me. This makes me feel slightly empty inside. 0_0 I have posted a couple other topics that I've gotten some help for. I hope I don't really sound counter productive, redundant, or impossible questions. :/

[RM2K3] [RM2K] Help with more save files in RM2k and RM2k3

This may seem kinda like a redundant question now, even possibly useless, but I guess I should ask away for the sake of game making, editing, and whatnot. Even with newer RPG Makers, what I'm asking is actually really easy.

All I'm trying to figure out, is a simple way of adding more save files in RPG Maker 2000/Value, and RPG Maker 2003. I'm aware of PepsiOtaku's "Save dynplugin script" but it seems kinda complicated. Why in the bloody hell did ASCII and Enterbrain even implement these things in the earlier RPG Makers? It makes absolutely no sense, it's not even like a simple variable that can be changed in the game's variables. In RPG Maker VX and VX ace it's actually incredibly easy, it's right under the Data Manager under line 121 through 126:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Maximum Number of Save Files
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def self.savefile_max
return 168
end

So why can't RPG Maker 2000 or 2003 do it? This really bugs me. I was searching on Google but not much luck there. It's so stupid.

[RM2K3] [RM2K] Help with getting egyptian styled music...

I have been working on a bunch of games, but I have decided to update a very old game into a third game of the series...Danny's Adventure. This game is really old, it is, but it is a fair classic. Though I am making an update, Danny's Adventure 3!

In Danny's Adventure 3, the story is going to be around Danny and Jenny saving the world not from Bin Laden, or Hussein, rather this time, ISIS! Yes. This is somewhat nerve wrecking because the bosses of the game are going to be ISIS leaders, and you even have to fight the goddess ISIS, though there may be a plot twist with that where ISIS sends them into hell. This makes me somewhat nervous to make because yes. Controversial even. Though I have also done art in the day that has made people angry when I was even in high school but those days are long over!

Though I am running into a creative bump in the road. Though this is somewhat 'located' in Egypt, Syria, that sort of thing, I have been looking around the net for some Egyptian styled midis, it is RPG Maker 2000 we're talking here. And I don't know if anyone knows of an Egyptian styled battle music or some 'standard' midi files I could be using for music? I have 2000, 2003, and XP music, and VX music as midis. Browsing the internet has pointed me in the direction of a RPG Maker cd through steam but the music really isn't that great. Any pointers where I could be looking via the internet? This is proving to be kinda tricky. :<

[RM2K] In Search of older RPG Maker games...

Hello all, good afternoon, and happy Sunday. Though this topic is not about Super Cooper Sunday, but rather I am in search. Of old RPG Maker games, though I am aware about this list:

https://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/22883/

Though this is a great list and everything is in alphabetical order, I almost would like a version of this list, but in the "eras" of RPG Maker games, or by each year the games actually came out, because I am searching for older RPG Maker games that may have gotten lost in the internet or harder to find games, even on GamingWorld: Legion Saga isn't really that 'old' but I'm referring to games like:

4 Gems, Call of the Archon, Danny's First Adventure, Danny's Adventure 2, Legend of the Sacred Fish, and Nightmare of the Elven World.

I remember downloading these games but I'm getting kinda oldschool and nostalgic here. These are on the internet, but I'm kinda wondering if there are any other games kinda like these ones, RTP-ish, playable. Are there any? I'm just kinda curious where any of these games, if they even exist at all. Does anyone have time for this, or rather, can anyone help? Thanks all.
